WSET Level 2 Award in Wines & Spirits [SUNDAYS]

This exciting and structured course over 3 alternate Sundays is the Wine and Spirit Education Trust (WSET) Level 2 Award (formerly known as the Intermediate Certificate).

You do not have to first complete Level 1 - you can jump in straight at this level (Level 2) if you like.

Recent Tripadvisor review from Debbie T: "My boyfriend and I spent A LOT of time in wine shops not knowing how to choose... we decided to do something about it and signed up for WSET Level 2 with Cambridgeshire Wine School. We absolutely loved it!" (Click to read why Debbie loved it so much).

Dates: 3 Sundays (10am-5pm) - Sun 07 July, Sun 14 July and Sun 21 July. The 1-hour multiple choice exam is at the end of the final day.

The course was designed as vocational training in product knowledge for those employed in the drinks industry, but is increasingly popular amongst people who want to study out of personal interest alone. If you have a serious interest in wine and wish to broaden your knowledge in a structured way this course offers you an internationally recognised qualification. WSET Level 2 Award in Wines and Spirits has full accreditation from OfQual as a Level 2 Vocational Qualification.
